Testing and Evaluation of the Therapeutic and High Altitude Low Opering (HALO) Oxygen System Follow-On Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) of the C-17 Aircraft.

Abstract

HQ AFMC/SG requested FOT&E to quantify the medical capabilities of the C-17 passenger oxygen system to support aeromedical (AE) operations. Specifically, this testing effort was performed to: (1) determine if the therapeutic outlets could provide sufficient flow rates and pressures to support ventilators, (2) determine if the high altitude low opening (HALO) outlets could provide sufficient flow rates and pressures to support medical flow meters, and (3) document the effects of an emergency mask deployment on the HALO/ therapeutic function.
